Femonationalism and the impact on women’s rights | UpFront

Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s first woman prime minister, is the latest in a line of female nationalists occupying high-ranking political positions across Europe.
Like France’s Marine Le Pen and Germany’s Alice Weidel, Meloni’s ascent has been linked to a phenomenon known as femonationalism - where feminist ideas are used to advance a nationalist agenda.
On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill is joined by scholars, Sara Farris, who coined the term femonationalism, Mayanthi Fernando and Cynthia Miller-Idriss, for a discussion on femonationalism and why so many women engage with far-right movements when they are seemingly at odds with their own interests.

Fascinating discussion and apt new term

[@janetruh7476]

Such a thought provoking forum. Thank you for all the wonderful questions to these lovely women.

[@bwy553]

You have a low threshold for thought.

I am an ex Muslim. I know Islam very well. Watch out for Islam before it's too late.

Terrific conversation Thankyou

the basic right of woman is choice. as she can't live without choosing anything. she can die silently if you let others choose for her. but if she chooses somebody to choose for her then she trusts the choice only. all other rights are secondary. 💅

Perhaps it's from the same psychological root as stokholm syndrome - wanting to side with / be liked by people they see as (potentially) threatening; then a subconscious desire for taking charge of the fear/threat, fulfilled by redirecting it as anger at a third party. A survival strategy from our evolutionary past?

Why is it not okay for people to be who they want to be. Who they are could change over time.

Great Show Ladies 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥂

Definitely a new way to impower authoritarian agenda. If only she would focus on economics only.

[@JuliaMRichter]

Interesting, thank you.

Kari Lake would be a far right politician in the US.

It's wonderful to see! Maybe the European Nation needs a Queen rather than a King.

[@bradforddavis6497]

Your collective premise is wrong. It is not the role of government to fix everyone's miserable lives. Nor does money grow on trees, as you're about to learn.

Freedom to people of Italy from democracy

More women in Right wing.

[@fbenbow2197]

At the end of the day we women need men to support us. That will always happen if the state does not take our children away because we have to work. Eat it

[@86MarcusP]

To the ladies 🚺

Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote their wealth away

[@CHMichael]

Look - you made up a word - don't think it will catch on. Isn't that sexist?

Basically a collaboration of feminism and hateful conservative/republican politics. Wow! 2022

[@BCSTS]

Mayanthi's comments are particularly astute....thank you.....btw abortion does not help women, but deeply hurts many, many women....not to mention oblitirating the 'right to life' of the most vulnerable .... fetus...I am traditionally a Democrat....too bad their platform completely supports all abortion!

[@mbs0710]

perhaps women need strong alpha men/leaders men need to stop being nice

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

There's no way to fight back against abusive women, the natural thing to do is drop out, smoke legal weed, play video games

@@JuliaMRichter nothing funny about it, what goes around comes around

[@heightsofsagarmatha]

@@JuliaMRichter just curious on a scale of 1 to 10 how happy are you? The laughter doesn't sound like genuine belly laughter. Based on that I would say 2 or 3 out of 10, you got what you wanted but are miserable and unhappy 😖. Am i right?

[@JuliaMRichter]

@@heightsofsagarmatha I never got what I wanted.
